Details

We are a tiny NGO, and Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do. We work in a really remote area in west Nepal. It takes 40 hours bus to arrived there from Kathmandu, where international airports are. Is 18 hours bus from the nearest "commercial" border with India.

Women in the area have not enough with their field to maintain their families. Often Their husband stay in India and let women alone for years without sending any money. Young girls don't find any kind of job, as well, and they get early-married because parents doesn't have enough money to pay their studies.

We want to create a social business that can empowered them, get a salary to some of them, and create some materials that can be used for the rest of the projects we have there (Menstrual Health management) or can be sell in Singapore or Europe (maybe online)

We were thinking in menstrual pads, masks, candles, soaps... We were thinking that has to be that they can find there, because bring the materials there will be expensive.

  1. Create a formal business plan for the Far-west Nepal organization.
  2. Create strategies to demonstrate the value of empowered women business plan.
  3. Consult with key organization stakeholders on the plan.
  4. Make a pitch to key stakeholders on the business plan.

be artsy is a small non-profit organization, volunteer based and without any government help, developing creativity projects with the aim of providing different experiences and training opportunities to communities which would otherwise not be able to access them.
We do not aim to only teach art just for the sake of art itself, but we also intend to provide communities with the tools to improve communication and effect the changes within they deem necessary.
In a nutshell, we wish to empower local communities through art with a special emphasis on women. Hence, our current emphasis on the topic of menstruation and health care through the Rato Baltin project against Chhaupadi in Nepal.
